Irrfan Khan, a beloved Bollywood actor, passed away in 2020, leaving many saddened. His son, Babil Khan, is rising in Bollywood with his acting talent. Babil often shares memories of his late father and recently posted about how much he misses him.
On Saturday, Babil took to Instagram and penned an emotional note, remembering his father, late actor Irrfan Khan. Sharing Irrfan’s pic, he wrote, “Nobody knew him like I did, nobody has known me like he did. It’s easy to say, to miss him, it’s easy. It’s easy to be cathartic and cry about losing him. It’s easy. Do you know what is hard?”
“To remember the ecstasy in his voice when he would raise it in exaltation to scream “BABILUUUU!!!” every single time he’d see me. To remember then, how painful it would be to lose him for the stretches of barren time when he would be away shooting. It is impossible to bear the memory of how his beard felt on my fingers when I would scratch his cheek as he read his script or how my fingertips would rest gently on his eyelids when he took a nap. His voice was brilliantly deep, yet it evoked nothing but a gentle prayer from me, a prayer that could only rise from one’s within when an external force has calmed your existential jitters to stillness,” he added.
Concluding the note, he added, “I wish I could have one last dance with you. ‘And to tell you, that without your lessons, I never would have survived.’ I will look for you. I will find you again. Somewhere. Beyond.”
Babil Khan made his Bollywood debut with the film Qala. He was also seen in The Railway Men, starring alongside Kay Kay Menon, R. Madhavan, Divyenndu, and others. This web series, consisting of four parts and released on November 18, is centred around the Bhopal Gas Tragedy.
